| Recover With Beer Two hundred and fifty kegs. That's how much beer was served at this year's Crescent City (LA) Classic post-race party; that's the equivalent of 41,250 bottles of beer -- and it doesn't include the beer consumed by many while actually running the race. Along with water stops there were 3 oz. cups of beer on the course. Race organizers cited a scientific study that showed beer followed by water was as effective as water-only for rehydration and recovery. Many runners however opted for more beer instead of the water. --------------- Drink On The Job Employees at a Florida health care company are allowed to drink on the company's tab, on company time, thanks to a perk known as "Beer Cart Fridays." Advance Medical CEO Jennifer Fuicelli said that she's been rolling out the beer cart for two years as part of an "unorthodox corporate culture" that rewards employees for hard work.She says the company began in 2005 with four employees and now has 350 workers in two locations — Port Orange, Fla., and Broomfield, Colo. The company also hosts costume days for Halloween, barbecues on the clock and a birthday "get out of jail free" card, which can be used for a paid day off. |
| You don't say..... Much like Champagne & Bourbon - a Kolsch Beer, or "True" Kolsch Beer, can only be brewed with a Kolsch license in Colonge, Germany. It is the only beer that cannot be brewed outside of Colonge. ----------------------------- Bulgaria’s "Boza" beer is a traditional Turkish drink made from wheat flour and yeast and is reputed to enlarge women’s breasts. ------------------------------------ In 1962, Iron City beer was the brand used to test-market the concept of tab opening aluminum cans. By 1970, over 90% of all beer cans were self-opening. -------------------------------- Chicha was a form or early "beer" in Latin America. It was traditionally made by young Inca girls who would take corn and chew it until it turned to pulp. The pulp would then be added to the warm water and left to stand a few days. ------------------------- One of the earliest recognisable beer recipes from ancient Sumeria was made out as a prayer because many of the people were illiterate, so it helped them to remember it. -------------------- The Mayflower did NOT stop in Plymouth because they were out of beer. The myth came from the American breweries shortly after Prohibition. They ran large ads stating “Pilgrim fathers drank beer" to increase sales. -------------------- China drinks more total beer than any other country (350 million hectoliters). China is the fastest growing beer market in the world. Czech Republic leads in per capita. |
